Re: Is it OK to do that?
I would second not paying extra on the mortgage, since you are planning on moving *soon*. Its a waste of precious $. Maybe you could even refi to interest only, to squirrel away more for your next home!
Normally I would argue the ethics of your strategy, but until things change and the government factors in the rapid rise in gas (and thus everything else), you gotta do what you gotta do. WE're getting nailed here in CA on not only property costs, but fuel ($3.29 today) and everything else is much higher than the national average.
I would, however, make sure your employer will not retaliate is some way.
